My prior car had 305 hp, and was the most powerful car I had ever owned. So my eyes were totally fixated on that horsepower number when I bought my 4BW. The suspension has been a revelation. The 4BW would be spectacular with 350 hp. Grats and welcome!

The regular spoiler would be fine if it were attached to a better-looking azz. Behold and weep.

Have you played with the Surround setting? Cranking that all the way up made it sound better to me. Has anyone experimented with disable the active noise cancellation to see whether that improves things?

You're gonna fit right in.

I was referring to the well-documented opioid crisis in Appalachia. It was intended to be social commentary (admittedly unnecessary) rather than a slam on blue collar workers. Blue collar workers who I said I was happy to be able to help support, I would like to reiterate. A lot of the risk...

I've never owned a German car. Had not owned an American car since the 1980s. Practical Considerations 1) I just did not trust GERman engineering after decades of reading about stuff like Porsche IMS thing, and knowing multiple people with VAG products who had massive reliability headaches...

Yes. No PPF. No window tint. Definitely no tuning. I've noticed over the years that no matter how much power something has, people will say "it needs 50 more horsepower". It's become such a joke to me that I actually wait to see it in reviews, or when talking to other car guys.

Looks like you went back and forth between sports cars and off road vehicles a few times! My 4BW shares a garage with a 2018 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X (4x4 with an OEM rear e-locker). I'd say I'm about 70% sports car guy / 30% 4x4 guy. When I had the STI and the Fronty that seemed like a cool...

God, I wish the CT4 rear end looked like that.

If you want a truly OEM look, mount it ever so slightly crooked. Don't go crazy with it. Do it juuuust enough that every once in a while it catches your eye and makes you stare it for a minute asking yourself, "Is that thing on crooked ...?"

I'm registered for the June 19-20 session. Anyone else going then?

There are several former and current WRX/Evo owners on this site. I think one guy kept his STI as his winter daily. Another guy has something like an Evo V (Five) in his garage. I lived in Timbergrove off of 11th and TC Jester for several years back in the 90s and early 00s. Left after TS...

It's gotten worse with each model year. I don't understand how that is possible..

Same. Without a test drive - or even having seen one - I ordered a car that cost 89% more than the most expensive car I had ever bought. And it was my first American car in 35 years. I still can't believe I did it.

Top speed was reduced from 189 mph to 187 mph. (Kidding ...) Real talk: I do not have the skill to use all the performance it has. I'm not tracking it, so it's not like I'm getting the thing heat-soaked or anything. It's fine. I like it mostly because I did not have to drill the bumper...

The OEM mount hangs down in front of the intercooler as well. My Sly Bracket mount is maybe 3/4" lower than stock. link: OEM plate mount link: my Sly Bracket

Missouri City, Texas. FM 1092 between Highway 6 and Cartwright. Around 2:30 PM on Sat 05/27/23. It was White/Rift. Only my second confirmed spotting in the wild in over a year. First one I saw might have been the same car I saw today.

You're in the absolutely worst phase of the process. This is the first car I have ever ordered. And it might be the last. If a tree fell on my 4BW I'd absolutely run out and buy another. But I would do everything I could to buy one from dealer stock before ordering one.

Per Mirza, a V-8 will not fit in the CT4:
